Timothy Raymond Schilli, age 60, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2024 at his home. The youngest son of Leonard and Mary (nee Finnegan) Schilli, Tim attended Holy Family and St. Mary’s High School before earning his Bachelor’s degree from UMSL.
Tim devoted his career to helping others starting with the St. Louis Metropolitan P-D before spending most of his career with the Richmond Heights Police Department where he recently retired as a Sergeant.
Tim was an avid sports fan, specifically hockey. He had yet to stop talking about one of his greatest joys, seeing the Blues win their first Stanley Cup. He will forever “Play Gloria.”
Above all else, Tim was a remarkable family man. His life revolved around “his loves”: Darlene, Liz, Laura, and their cherished menagerie of animals. Tim found his greatest happiness in moments spent with those he loved.
Tim is survived by his beloved wife, Darlene (nee Gregorczyk), daughters Liz (Jeff) Schilli and Laura (Will) Schilli, his sister, Karen (Paul) Fedchak, brothers, Mike Schilli, Steven (Lana) Schilli, many nieces and nephews and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Mary Schilli, and his eldest brother, Reverend Richard Schilli.
Visitation to be held Friday, December 6 at Kutis Affton Chapel (10151 Gravois Rd, St. Louis, MO 63123) from 5:00pm–7:00pm followed by a short memorial service. In lieu of flowers, memorial to Backstoppers are appreciated.
